Restless
Look at the clock
4:11 PM
I wonder what's going on in the world
Pull up an article, have a look
It's no good, nothing catches my attention
Close the tab, guilt sinks in - 4:12 PM
Time to get back to work
Silence, except for the subtle noise of a restless leg
tap tap tap - the leg shakes relentlessly
Darting eyes, 4:13 PM
Let me just see what else is new
No, you're at work - focus.
The minds a clever thing, Always wanting more but never more of what it has.
4:15 PM
The seconds tick, the minutes pass.
What have I done today?

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
